    Hello everyone. Is there a way to reduce the number of Heartbeat messages the gateway produces by itself? Using MYSController to analyze the data traffic, I see every 10 seconds a Heartbeat - would like to reduce this once everything is working as expected to maybe every 5 or 10 minutes...

      Just sleep longer. It sends one heartbeat every time the node wakes up.

        mysGateway: TSF:MSG:READ,0-0-0,s=0,c=0,t=0,pt=0,l=0,sg=0:
        mysGateway: !TSF:MSG:LEN,0!=7
        

        looks like a power issue with the nrf24 module.

        Ok,

        I've tested with the Voltmeter and the NRF24L01 module do get a steady 3.26 V. Both the gateway module and the Arduino sensor node...

        Im now building a few extra sensor nodes, so I can test without the Raspberry pi. Hopefully I can atleast get them talking based on Arduinos first. Before testing the Raspberry Pi.

        I have exactly the same error

        mysGateway: !TSF:MSG:LEN,0!=7

        Have you been able to resolve that problem yet? I have tried multiple radios with different capacitors and powersources grounded to the Raspberry Pi.

        thanks

          Sadly not. I ended up creating an serial gateway (arduino with NRF24L01 and a USB connector) and connected this to the Raspberry Pi, rather than connecting the NRF24L01 directly to the GPIO pins. This worked perfectly straight away.

              I would like to try this, but my pins19-23 are already used by other hardware. Has anyone tried using the SPI1 Pins?

                @dopeeye I had this issue and unfortunately changed several things at once and got rid of it. However, one thing I noticed was I had different versions of mySensors in my library directory since I downloaded the examples package. Therefore the sensor was likely compiling on a different version than the Gateway. You might want to check that.

                If you could post more of your logs (sensor and gateway) it might help.

                  When running as a service, is there a way to watch the debug log?

                        @alesc looks like this commit in the development branch broke the code.

                        Do

                        git checkout master
                        

                        before running configure should get the code to the latest stable release.

                        EDIT: Sorry, that won't work because the Raspberry Pi stuff didn't exist when MySensors 2.0 was released. You'll have to do git pull instead, to get tekka's fix.

                            Hi Everyone !
                            Big thumb up for the amount of work supplied !!!
                            After being more or less successful with openHAB1 I had a go with openHAB2 today, via a online install....
                            But no success with the "mysGateway" install : should i go back to serial gateway with an arduino ?
                            Thanks a lot for your help

                              @ben999 try again, because it works great. I assume by online install you mean apt-get; I too had trouble when trying this. However, I tried again following @TimO instructions here:
                              wiki, then everything came up nicely. I feel it is some permission issue that I have not tried to figure out yet.

                                @ericvdb when running as a service, debug messages are masked and aren't shown in the system logs, but it would be a good idea to have a way to connect to gateway perhaps using telnet and watch the logs. I'll work on something.

                                  Thanks a lot for your message, hope is back on my side :)
                                  Actually I had a go with openHABian (i didn't make it clear in my previous message, sorry)
                                  The install itself couldn't be easier : OS+openHAB installed in one go, just by formatting SD Card with a tiny img file. One hour later and voilà !
                                  So that could be the source of my trouble?
                                  I will go with the link you supplied tonight and let you know (lookslike it is a manual install... scary!!)
                                  Thank you again for your support

                                    @ben999 if you have not already, read through the MySensors OH2 thread. I noticed a recent post by @TimO that talks about setting some permissions and that might be the issue. Otherwise, the manual install is not bad as he gives you step-by-step; I am a new to all this and managed to get it to work...

                                        Either its not stated or I cannot see it, but i was wondering... Is this version 2 voor de rPi?
                                        At the moment I am using MySensors version 1.5 with Pimatic as controller. And I would like to use v2.
